Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara, says Nigeria has full potentials and remains a great country in spite of its current challenges of nationhood and development.
AbdulRazaq said this on Friday in Ilorin, in his message on the occasion of Nigeria’s 61st Independence Day celebration.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, AbdulRazaq congratulated Nigerians on the Independence Day anniversary.
“I join Mr. President and the rest of the country to felicitate our compatriots, especially the people of Kwara State, on the 61st independence anniversary.
“There is no pretending that our country is undergoing a truly challenging phase in national development.
“However, I am upbeat that we will emerge better, stronger, more united and prosperous as a people,” the governor said.
He said that though Nigeria might not be where its citizens wanted it to be, it is however, neither stagnant, nor hopeless.
“With more doses of unity, patriotism, discipline, positive disposition, and belief in the strength of our diversity and ingenuity as a people, we will attain our full potentials as the largest nation of black people in the world.
“I therefore congratulate Mr. President, identify with and acknowledge his strides in infrastructure development, and the efforts to curtail insecurity, while fostering national peace and stability.
“Kwara people and our administration will always show a good example of how to live and grow together in peace and harmony,” AbdulRazak added. (NAN)
